Social media had strong reactions after Alec Baldwin as President Donald Trump joked about Waffle House on “Saturday Night Live.”

“I said I was going to run this country like a business. That business is a Waffle House at 2 a.m.,” Baldwin’s Trump said to in-studio applause. “Crazies everywhere, staff walking out in the middle of their shift, managers taking money out of the cash register to pay off the Russian mob.”

A quick poll of Twitter showed almost all the reactions to that joke agreed with the live studio audience.

That is maligning Waffle House. Waffle House at 2am makes far more sense than this administration. RT @jasonbres: "I said I was gonna run this country like a business. That business is a Waffle House at 2 am." #SNL
